Port Stanley, Ont. - Harbour Sedimentation and Dredging Analysis

The Port Stanley harbour is located in Elgin County on the north shore of Lake Erie at the mouth of Kettle Creek.

Riggs Engineering provided support to a business case study regarding the financial viability of the harbour and investigated the short term and long term fate of sediments deposited by Kettle Creek. Riggs Engineering provided future harbour development options and evaluated possible disposal of dredged sediment including open water disposal, with the following:

Completed a comprehensive analysis of previous harbour dredging, along with sediment volumes removed in the past.

Documented the inner and outer harbour environment, as the type of sedimentation differs in inner and outer sections.
